The Tennessee Republican also used the acronym for "diversity, equity and inclusion" in describing the Secret Service director, telling her she's a "DEI horror story."
Starting to feel it’s gone beyond a dog whistle. Most of those are far more low-key, like “thug” or “urban” or “welfare queen”. And this one is more clearly defined by facts and usage than “woke”.
They might as well come out and say, “This is what comes from hiring n*****s and women!”
DEI is the new N word. It’s a racist dog whistle.
Hold up.
It’s also sexist.
True that.
It’s literally all forms of bigotry, because anyone of any disadvantaged group could be called “DEI.”
The only group it doesn’t apply to is rich, white, able-bodied, straight, cis, Christian, never-jailed, well -educated men*.
I might have missed an adjective, but you get the idea.

The reason is probably pretty awful and has to do exactly with what @[email protected] was referring to.
That other black guy (remember that dude from the McCain/Palin days?), he must be PISSED that he’s lost the role of Token.
EDIT: Michael Steele. Somehow, I dragged that from the recesses of my memory.
Herman Cain? He died from COVID.
No, that other guy. “Drill, baby, drill!” That guy. He’s a never trumper.
Wasn’t that Sarah Palin?
Yeah, but then Token parroted her.
It’s like the N-word and the C-word had a baby, and that baby was raised by all the bad words for Jews.
its the new woke.
still a dogwhistle though.
theres surely a reason why they regularly change up the terminology like this.
This use is a racist fog horn, but otherwise I agree.

They’re pathetic fucking cowards who won’t just say what they mean because they know they can’t win running as open racists.
OOL… Can someone explain the acronym and the context? 🙈
Diversity Equality Inclusivity
DEI initiatives have been popular in organizations in the past decade to increase diversity. This angers fascists, so they mock and attack it.
Thank you!

The E stands for “equity”, not “equality”.
